"Several of these entries were so good, I had to read them twice. Truly, the Toronto contest is the highest quality contest I've ever been involved in. I don't know how you guys do it, but the final entries are always really solid. I rarely request a full from contest entries. This time I'm going to ask for three! This is high praise indeed." - Final Judge Kristin Nelson, Nelson Literary Agency
